Noni's braces story

[Noni]

#10 adjustment on 14 January 2012 ( Fourth adjustment with the second ortho )

I tried to wear my elastics as much as required but still didnt reach the required stage for my teeth and jaw alignment
So I'm still in cross elastics in both side.

I had new archwired for both up and lower jaw, I'm also still in tied twisted wire all around the brackets.

I'm also supposed to have my implant appointment , I will be back to my ortho within 3 weeks

And will see what happen with my implant , the reason that I should do it before my braces is off so the molar doesn't move forward as it was .

I've been pushing my ortho to speed up the process , and he said that it might be off within 2 months the problem s that my jaw alignment is not fixed .

#11 adjustment on 3 February 2013 ( fifth adjustment with the second ortho )

I'm in the finalizing stage of my braces
I know my teeth are not going to be perfect though , but I can't wait to have them off , so my ortho asked what I don't like about my braces , the most 2 things I hate , so 2 teeth I felt that are not really straight , he did replace the brackets for them ,and unfortunately as every one should expect , something's fixed and other thing ruined , gaps between the teeth have developed one day after my appointment , but I have the powerchain and I hope they will work well to close them .,

The thing I hate now are the gaps between the upper and the lower teeth ..

I have to go to my ortho 2 weeks from the appointment , just to check that every thing are ok .which is one week from now .

I will have my implant soon , and I'm really worried .

The end of the Journey

My Braces are off

Finally , I'm so releived , My teeth are beautifuly naked .
they are straight nice and my bite is corrected , they look much better than with the braces on .

my journey was supposed to be longer , i think 4-5 more months , but i was so depressed with the braces , so anxiuos about cleaning them , and agreed with my ortho 2 months back to have them removed by March (this month )

i know they would be better , specially my bite , but they are perfectly good to me .

debonding was a little painful to me , my teeth were so sensetive ,i had the permenant retainer first before the brackets were removed , and I dont need to wear the retainer 24/7 ,only at night . My ortho adviced me to wear them more during the day if i felt there is anychange specially when feeling the reatiner are not fitting like they used to be .

I dont like the clear removable reatiner , but that what my ortho is recommending for me .



here is photo of first month with braces , and photo of the day i had them off .
